inverted triangle
YOUR HORIZONTAL BODY SHAPE IS an Inverted Triangle.
Your horizontal shape is important for the clothing silhouettes and design elements that will look best on you.
What does this mean? You have a magnificent stature and a very wellproportioned figure! You have a proportionally large bust, or you have broad shoulders, or both are broader than your defined waist. Your waist can be fuller than your narrower hips. All these are amazing assets as many styles look fabulous on you. To create the illusion of the perfect hourglass body shape balance your lower body to your upper body and draw attention away from your upper body. This is the second best female shape. Another name for this shape is the cone or v shape.
Tips on what to wear for EMBRACE
Elongate your neckline with a V-neck, deep scoop, and a U-neck.
Flatter your body with peplum shirts, skater dresses, and faux wrap and true wrap styles.
Three-quarter length sleeves would look great on you.
A sheath or shift silhouette is great for you as well as A-line skirts.
RECOMMENDED: A-line, empire waist, fit-andflare, halter, sheath, wrap
an inverted triangle AVOID Slim-cut and capri pants exaggerate your shape by making legs seem slender in comparison to your upper frame.
Crew-neck or wide boatneck collars will only accentuate shoulders.
No oversize collars, lapels, embellishments, or shoulder pads.
